True Colours [DVD]

Two of my favourite actors, whats not to like

It's a good movie about love, trust and betrayal. A young Cusack and Spader work well together and it's an enjoyable movie. There's nothing ground breaking to make it stand out from any other political ladder-climbing films, but if you are a fan of either of the two leads, you'll be happy.

Great leads with emotive acting, decent piece of drama!

Not a bad movie, but not brilliant either. As a dyed-the-wool John Cusack fan I'm bound to say his performance was good, and it was, but certainly not his greatest. James Spader was good in the role of the 'good guy', something he tends not to do very often. The casting of both actors against their usual type did mean that I thought more about the plot/story than I might have done otherwise. Neither of these main characters is really bad nor really good, they are written reasonably well and are 'real'/human. Somehow there was something a bit clumsy about the film. Perhaps it was just the 80s setting viewed in the 00s or the fact that some of the character background was given clumsily...the bar scene where Cusack's character's history is revealed was not subtle at all! Still a watchable film and interesting subject matter...maybe I enjoyed it more than my 3 star rating suggests...

I love it!!
